Description

Elegant, well balanced miniature hosting several sharp analcime individuals on volcanic, zeolite-laden matrix. Moderate lustre, the specimen is very tough to get a hold of nowadays. 

In my collection since 15+ years, I got it from a local collector of the area who told me that this is among the largest analcimes the locality of Val Zuccanti has provided, and based on some research it seems to be the case.
